London - Portuguese police say they have found firm DNA evidence that the body of Madeleine McCann was in the family's hire car five weeks after she went missing, sources have told Sky News.

Sky crime correspondent Martin Brunt, speaking from Portimao, said police felt the find was "damning".

He said the sample of blood sent to the Forensic Science Service in Birmingham had carried three matches of Madeleine's DNA - one of them a partial match in the hire car.

This, Brunt added, could have been explained by transfer onto clothes.

"But the crucial thing is that police have also found a second full match in the car.

"Police say that is the most damning evidence that has been returned by the tests," said Brunt.

"It shows, as far as they are concerned, the presence of Madeleine's body in the car five weeks after she disappeared." - Sky News
